What You'll Receive and Why It Matters
When you take part in the Family-Led Giving Campaign, you’re helping expand the reach of SKDEAS by spreading awareness, connection, and understanding across our community and beyond.
To show our appreciation, we’re sending a thank-you to every participant:
Create a Fundraising Page and receive a SKDEAS Magnet
A symbol of connection and awareness, this magnet is our way of saying thank you for helping grow the SKDEAS community.
Raise $100 or more and receive a SKDEAS Coloring & Activity Book
You’ll be among the first to receive a copy of the new SKDEAS Coloring & Activity Book, arriving 4–5 weeks before the public release on January 15. It’s a celebration of your role in helping SKDEAS reach farther and inspire others.
The SKDEAS Coloring & Activity Book was created by the Foundation to help children learn about Skraban-Deardorff Syndrome in a fun, age-appropriate way. Through superheroes, puzzles, mazes, and stories, kids discover the value of kindness, friendship, and celebrating differences.
📚 Please note: The book is currently available in English only.
